Seattle’s special teams also showed up huge with Nick Emmanwori blocking a field goal following Darnold’s INT, while Rashid Shaheed opened the 2nd half with a 100-yard kick return for his first Seahawks touchdown.

The Seattle Seahawks, led by quarterback Sam Darnold, face the Atlanta Falcons, led by quarterback Kirk Cousins, on Sunday, Dec. 7, 2025 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Ga.

The Falcons were blown out by the Seahawks after a second-half collapse driven by special teams mistakes and turnovers, sealing another season under .500.

The Atlanta Falcons announced a few last-minute roster moves ahead of their Week 14 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. The team placed safety DeMarcco Hellams on the injured reserve list, signed wide receiver Deven Thompkins to the 53-man roster and elevated cornerback C.

Losses in six of their past seven games have left the Atlanta Falcons needing a huge rally to avoid their eighth consecutive losing season. “We still have five left,” said linebacker Kaden Ellis after Sunday's last-second 27-24 loss at the New York Jets.

The Seahawks had five takeaways against the Vikings and three against the Falcons. They have three defensive touchdowns and 21 total takeaways on the season. Seahawks rookie Nick Emmanwori, who had the best game of his career thus far on Sunday, isn't shying away from bold claims about the dominant unit.
